[ male announcer ] the choice on debt...

mitt romney's plan: huge tax cuts for millionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas, adding trillions to the deficit. president obama's plan: a balanced approach that asks the wealthy to pay a little more, eliminates tax breaks for outsourcing and oil subsidies, cuts government spending, and reduces the deficit by four trillion. two plans. your choice. [ obama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message.

. the redskins break out training camp tomorrow. >> and dave owens is live at redskins park where today's press conference is already getting underway. >> that's right, guys. rg3, his weekly press conference. he's heading to the podium right now. let's listen in. >> a lot of plays, there is usually one guy that is wide open and everybody else is blinking. i went through the reid and the corner was taking away down the field. we high, lowed the player. i threw the ball to pier, that's it. >> what kind of things have they done to help you to get more comfortable? >> just talking about it. it's not that you walk to the line, you say defense and say,

i have the perfect play for that defense. it's certain calls that you need to have with them and the coaches, that's a testament to them. it's not that i'm the smartest guy in the world. they have done a good job of throwing the offense at me. now that they are starting a game plan. they can say, if you get this specific look, you can get to this play and that has helped me to learn the offense first and come back with the audible, instead of audible a play i have never run in my life and being confused. they have kept it really consistent with the way that they introduced me to the offense and i feel really good about it. >> robert, you talk about getting comfortable and coming back, what are some of the things that is taking -- i guess, some of the things you are getting used to. >> i think it's more what the straight drop back. play action, i think everyone has done play action from under center. it's not the simplest thing, but it's definitely more comfortable for me to do play

action from the shotgun. it's just most of the strictly drop back passing. i don't know how to explain it. it's just something i haven't done in a really long time. i did a little bit at baylor and a lot in high school. so, it's just something you have to get used to. getting your feet right from doing a drop full speed and my full speed is different than other full speeds. i have to make sure i get my feet right and keep my technique sharp. that's the one thing we have been working on. >> how many of those plays do you go down and look at and realize, okay, maybe i could have done something different here. i could have done something better there. with your level of critique, did you find it to be fairly extreme or were you prow of yourself? >> i'm my hardest critic. in the game, like i said, in the 14 plays that we got, there wasn't anything that stuck out. i could have done this differently. i could have done that differently. but in practice, there's

moments like that, where you say maybe i should have made this throw instead of this throw. i think it happen more in practice. hopefully it will be the same way against chicago. >> it's weird getting a drive going and you're done for the night. getting going -- >> you build momentum and they are like, all right, you're done. and it was unfortunate, but i understand it's preseason. they just want us to put a touchdown drive together, not saying we would have kept going until we scored, but they wanted to see that. they wanted us to feel that momentum, feel how good we can be, if we are collecting on all cylinders and we did that. everybody was satisfied and the joy that i saw in the team on the sideline after we scored that touchdown, after pier scored on that screen was unbelievable. the defense was excited. i think it helped the team become more confidence.

we can go out and be successful as an offense and i can help lead this team. >> when you score, are you going to summersalt. >> no, i'm not going to. >> how do you proceed your teammates are up? >> one thing we know is we have to handle what is on the field. the expectations and the hype and all the excitement. i think that's good. i see the fans come out here and support their team. i think guys feed off of those things. i don't think it will be a burden to anybody. i don't think the team feels like there's any pressure, but of course people are going to throw expectations out there. last time i checked, they have us fourth and not that we care, but we are going to go out and make sure we aren't fourth. >> you have dealt with lots of media in your life. here, obviously the redskins have gone to great lengths to

protect you. how much of an adjustment is that for you, or do you care one way or the other? >> i love talking to you. it's great every single time. but that's coach mike's decision and he wants me to talk to you guys once a week. talking to you guys once a week and you know, the biggest thing is, i'm the quarterback, i have to be the face of the team and face of the franchise, and i think we all understand that. so it's not that one guy gets more attention than the other guy. they all know if i'm getting a will the of attention, we are doing extremely good on the field. when people say, is it going to bother me if it continues to increase, i want to play well, so it's going to increase. >> maybe santana and josh. >> that's robert griffin, iii, getting comfortable with that. not just checking it down, but also throwing the football over

the middle, making those dangerous throws. also talked about comfort. getting under center. remember, he did a lot of shotgun at baylor. that bear defense, he'll have to take it on. we'll talk about that coming up at 6:00 at our 6:20 sports cast. that's going to did it here. back to you guys now in the studio. >> thank you, dave. >> if you could live to be 104 years old or climb a mountain, which would you pick? one woman said, i'll take both. alice turned 104 on july 31 and she told her kids she wanted to climb a mountain to celebrate. so they did. she decided to climb the same mountain she did as a child. mt. hood. what she found at the top was nay nestalgic. >> it's very nice. i enjoy being up here. >> 100 years is a long time for us, for a mountain, not so long. her first time in decades. she saids the idea began as a joke, but she sure is glad her

kids took her seriously. millions of dollars have been spent on airport security. how one guy stranded on a jet ski is calling one major airport's entire plan into question. top. well, the doppler is quiet, so we can show you the pollen reading. we have a moderate for grasses, weeds, and mold spores. we'll come back and talk about how the doppler may change tomorrow while we are going code yellow on tuesday. >> but first, sorry top, another option off the market. a look at jennifer aniston's engagement coming your way up next. >> and don't forget, we're always on at wusa9.com. stay with us, we'll be right back.

pitch for travel insurance. it could be a smart move given all that could derail your trip. you don't want to jump into that purchase quickly, because travel insurance is not always a good deal. >> bill nuget may say he has the worst luck. >> i had to cancel a trip three days before and the second time i injured my leg and had to cancel it two or three weeks before. >> fortunately, he bought travel insurance for both trips. bill got back most of the nearly $12,000 he paid. >> travel insurance is a $2 billion a year industry, covering everything from natural disasters to personal medical emergencies. >> but do you really need it? money experts say maybe, but buy wisely. for instance, don't buy insurance coverage for small losses. worrying about dying in a plane crash? well skip the flight insurance. instead, think about term life insurance. it covers you no matter what

the cause of death. >> before you buy travel insurance, check the insurance you already have. medical emergencies may be covered by your health insurance. fender bender by your credit card. >> travel overseas can require additional health insurance. consider medical travel insurance instead. >> if you did decide you want travel insurance, be sure to buy it from a travel agent. >> go to an online broker like ensuremytrip.com. it sells coverage from 21 different carriers, including travel protection, and travel x. bill learned firsthand that a little insurance can go a long way when a vacation doesn't go according to plan. >> you don't have to leave the d.c. area with your family to get last minute summer fun. we have great ideas for the whole family on our website, complete with a photo slide show from a great planetarium, a spy adventure in the city.
